TILE state railroad commission in a decision rendered by Commissioner Oswald West has ordered a : in duction in express rates between Medford and oilier points on tho Southern Pacific in Oregon and Portland. This is one of several reductions ordered by the eomiM'ssion from transportation companies, and proves the usefulness of the commission and its real benefit to the people. The findings of the commission are that tho rates r.l present charged by the Wells Pargo express 'are. unjust and unreasonable," and that "just and reasonable rates or charges bs made," and that for intrastate business the express company cease from imposing present schedules and collect instead rates found by the commission to be reasonable. The order is made effective and operative twenty days from its service upon the Wells Fargo company. The matter of a reduction in freight rates between Portland and Medford and other Southern Pacific points is now pending before the commission, and it is to he hoped that a reduction will be ordered along the right lines, that is, making a wider margin between the less than carload rates and the carload rates. A uniform reduction will work to the advantage of Portland and prevent the crea tion of jobbing centers elsewhere in the state, and not materially benefit the region affected. Southern Oregon pays the highest freight rates of any region in the country. As an example, the paper this is printed upon costs the publishers more than the paper used by any newspaper in the country, and therefore the cost of issuing a newspaper in Medford is greater than elsewhere. The freight on paper, in carload lots, is 75 cents per 100 pounds from eastern mills, 3000 or more miles away, to Portland. From Portland to Medford. 330 miles, it is 79 cents. The less than carload rate is 95 cents, a margin so slight that no paper house could locate in Med ford, and so small that consumers are scarcely justified in buying carload quantities. To right such condition, the railroad commission has been appealed to. The present commission is an excellent one. It is one of the few commissions not controlled by the corporations they are supposed to regulate. It is a matter of regret that Commissioner "West will not be a candidate to succeed himself, and great care must be used in the selection of his successor, lest the transportation concerns slip some can didate of their own into office.

THE Portland Oregonian these days offers a ing example of the old fashioned partisan Life is short, but many people manage to outlive their usefulness. It is hard to keep the inau down who is able to keep up appearances. You may induce people to listen to your grievances but what do they care? Tund words are often waster where a swift kick would have been more effective. It is easier for some men to be come famous than it is for them to earn a living. About this time you may hear them saying: "You ought to havo been here last week; one man caught a steelhcad that long." Those Alaskan political scandals should be oxposed at once to the air and sunlight. They have been, kept in cold storage too long. While in Franco Hr. Roosevelt Tvas greatly thrilled by the sight of an aviator's fall. Tho French are a wonderfully polito people. a striic- newspa- per. Most of the large cit' reapers have outgrown this style of journalism, but the moss still clings to the tall tower. Its news and editorial columns are given over to coloring news and trying to manufacture sentiment favor able to its program of emasculating the direct primary law and direct legislation. The modern newspaper, as a rule, prints the news as it gets it. It no longer considers it necessary to belittle and lie about meetings of opposition candidates, and puff up and falsify accounts of its partisans to blacken enemies and whitewash friends, in the news accounts. The edi torial columns still reflect the spite and meanness of the editor, but that is what they are for. Day after day the Oregonian is filled with glowing ac counts of county "assemblies" where only the Trie-hungry few turn out, and where the slates are typewritten in ad vance. The effort is made to create the idea that there is a popular uprising of the people to destroy their own rights and restore them to the politicians. Of course in political matters, the Oregonian 's news columns are totally unreliable. But they have been so for so long that no one takes them seriously. In thi progress and growth of the state it is to be hoped the Oregonian will outgrow this tendency but it is hard to instill modern methods in a mossback. 4- -f -f ---f DR.

Hosiery manufacturers say tho tariff is too low. When a man needs the money ho can induce himself to say a good many things. Forty million dollars' worth of precious stones was brought into tho country in tho last year, yet tho price of living keeps on going up.

TULILANDER KNOX, secretary of state, is proving a A mighty poor diplomat. Germany has sat down upon him, as did Japan and China recently. jMr. Knox is said to conduct the state department as he would a high court of Jaw, with himself as chief justice, and is being advised to cut it out and study diplomacy. """ In several matters, Mr. Knox has brought the country into an absurd position, and forced it to back down from his original stand. Evidently being a corporation lawyer and a railroad senator does not supply the requisite train ing. Unlike legislatures, foreign governments cannot be bribed or bullied into a course of action.
